I took it all very much to heart. I felt so guilty. And why God picking on me personally? Why wasn't my sister mentioned? Where was her name? What did I do? As far as I knew, I was in all the versions of the Bible. When we would go to church on Sunday I was convinced I was some sort of minor Biblical celebrity (Psst, there's that kid what is mentioned in the Good Book! I hope he sits near us!)

As the song goes, Jesus loves me this I know, cause the Bible tells me so -- personally!

Okay, this is one of the funniest things I have *ever* read.

You were singled OUT? Really? How cruel! How funny! It's almost too funny to believe.

Jesus was beaten and nailed to a cross. It was brutal and it was painful and it was ALL for YOU Tref. All for you.

Hopefully one of the religious books I would have read if *I'd* been given this bizarre gift would have read, "And one of the knights Templar, Audra Rosemary...." It'd be cool to be a Templar, assuming I were to never be run through with a sword, 'cause I hear that's painful.
